One of the main claims of Marx’s theory of history is that the legal and political systems of a society will tend to adapt themselves to changes in economic relations, and in turn that they’ll stabilize those new relations by giving them the force of the law. In places like the Sutherland estate, what this meant is that the common property of a clan was reconceptualized as the private property of the aristocrats who headed the clans — the descendants of the old chieftains, first integrated into the larger British aristocracy and then treated as the holders of capitalist property titles — to dispose of as they pleased.
